The artist's installation at DXBDW is alive with colour + form
Consider it shock therapy for the design set. Created by the renowned female artist Liza West, ‘Aglow’ consists of one-hundred and sixty-nine hemispherical fluorescent coloured acrylic bowls arranged on the ground in a hexagon shape. The edges of these multiple ‘unplugged’ fluorescent bowls in six neon colours will glow as if charged with electricity. These ‘live’ rims and choice of components embody West’s interest in the relationship between colour and light and her obsession with material that enhance the viewers perception of her work.
Designed in collaboration with t Nemozena,a women’s brand that embraces female empowerment, this bold installation aims to showcase the creativity and brilliance of female individuals around the world.
